Rules and Regulations

Except as modified by local rules, all play is governed by the current regulations approved by the Royal Canadian Golf Association. For local rules, please consult the score card. Members are expected to become familiar with the local rules as well as the regular rules as stated in the Rules of Golf. Players must not practice on any part of the golf course or pitch to the practice green.

Any Member using the course when it is closed may have his or her playing privileges suspended for such a period of time as the Management may determine.

All games shall start on the first tee with the exception of those days which have been designated crossovers by the Stratford Country Club Team. Everyone must check-in in person at the Pro Shop prior to playing.

Handicaps

Golf Canada’s National Handicap System is available for use by downloading the Golf Canada app on your mobile device or can be accessed by logging into Golfcanda.ca. Usernames and passwords may be obtained through the authorized staff in the Pro Shop.

Since club matches and friendly games are based on handicaps, in fairness to both your opponents and your partners, it is important to have proper up-to-date handicaps.

Immediately following your round, Members should post their scores in Golfcanada.ca. Nine-hole scores may be posted along with 18-hole scores. Golf Canada Rules provide for penalties in situations of abuse.

Members who belong to two or more clubs should record the scores of every round, regardless of the course, into each and every handicap system where they belong, in order to establish and maintain a proper handicap.

Golf Etiquette

Slow play will not be tolerated. Players should play without delay and follow right behind the group ahead at all times. To help overcome slow play, Members and guests are asked to consider the following points:

  • Four-ball games are recommended during periods of heavy play

The Stratford Country Club Team will group players into four-ball games at our discretion.

  • Prepare for your shot as you approach your ball or the tee and always be ready to play when it is your turn
  • Practice continuous putting
  • When you have completed a hole, pick up your ball and proceed to the next tee as quickly as possible
  • Always be considerate of fellow golfers

Players failing to maintain the pace of play, by looking for a ball or by dropping back more than one clear hole from those in front, must waive the following group through if they are not on time par. Time par for Stratford Country Club is 4 hours and 15 minutes. The problem of slow play will be monitored throughout the season and action will be taken as considered necessary. The Course Assistant has guidelines to govern the pace of play and will take reasonable actions to correct problems including a group to pick-up their balls  and move ahead until they are maintaining pace directly behind the group in front of them.

Players are reminded to take great care to repair all ball marks on greens, rake bunkers and replace divots. Power carts may not be driven closer than thirty feet or as otherwise marked from all greens and tees. Carts must remain on the cart path on all par threes.
